The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, with a look at what’s shaping up at Little Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a continuous run of small, weak swell—nothing over 3 ft—and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping the surface messy. The combined wave energy sits in the low-to-moderate range (162 to 490), but the quality just isn’t there. The water is a very unusual 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when the surf is flat and choppy.
The first real hint of a pulse comes on Monday 18th August. The morning shows a 1 ft swell from the SW with a nice long period of 17 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. That’s clean glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny. The combined energy is only 219, so it’s marginal. The afternoon gets ruined by a moderate cross-shore breeze at 12 mph, so that window is narrow.
The only standout—and I use that word carefully—is the Monday 18th August morning session. At a reef and point break like Little Point, that long-period groundswell (17 seconds) will wrap in nicely, and with glassy offshore wind, the waves will be clean and lined up. But at 1 ft, it’s only going to be fun on a longboard or a mid-length. It’s best for advanced surfers given the fickle nature of this spot, and crowds are likely.
So, the pick of the whole 16-day window is that tiny, clean Monday morning. If you’re a patient surfer, you’ll get a few nice, peeling waves. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for not much.
That’s it from me. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
Rusty.

Information about the Little Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Little Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Little Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Little Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Little Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Little Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
